Jürgen Klopp admitted Liverpool must learn from the costly closing moments of their 2-2 draw with Bournemouth on Wednesday night.

The Reds had recovered from an early Benik Afobe opener to claim an advantage at Anfield through strikes from Philippe Coutinho and Divock Origi.

But they were denied a Premier League victory by Joshua King, who finished off a scramble inside the penalty area with a shot beyond Simon Mignolet on 87 minutes.

Here is Klopp’s verdict on the match…

On his assessment of the game…

The start was not good; not only the goal we conceded, I think it was the third or fourth pass which we played because we were a little bit late in mind. We were not really concentrated. Simon had this little dribbling, Ragnar had this, Gini then played this pass. So, three or four situations before where we were not really spot-on and it makes no sense. When you start like this, it makes the game not easier, it makes it more difficult, and you could feel the atmosphere in the stadium was then kind of nervous. The noise was not very optimistic, I would say, with each backpass we played. But in a situation like this you need to stay patient, you need to stay calm and play football. There were still a few situations when it looked a little bit stiff and this stuff, but then we scored the goal and that was fantastic, a fantastic moment. We could go in at half-time and start the game new in the second half, which we did.
